Holy Crap - Escort Gas Blowback drop in mechbox!!!?!

bean · November 22nd, 2007, 17:34

it is semi or full

Yes, if you watch the video clip, you'll find that it spits out a rather ridiculous rate of fire as well.

Bonus for SAWs/LMGs, you can probably hide the tank in the box mag, if you don't want to be tethered to the gun (although most SAWs I've seen have been slung one way or another, due to weight, so it's a little bit of a negated bonus...)

My Beretta Cx4 Storm pellet carbine runs off an 88g CO2 cannister that's stored in its stock. It's GBB as well, although very little recoil. It fires at 495 FPS and I can get about 350 useable shots out of 1 CO2 tank. After that, they get sort of weak, but I've fired 350 shots out of the container before having to swap it out. Probably could have gotten more, but was concerned that I might end up with a jam if I went for more than that. I'm sure with a rifle with a full-size stock, this could easily be adapted. And you could probably get away with less gas use blowing a .20g plastic BB out of the barrel than you could firing off .177 lead pellets.

yes I know that gun well from CAF

We had a few threads on it there.
Maybe a g36k could take the 88g

anyhow just saw this. Look at it go!

Looks like it can manage a full stroke bolt after all...

Still, I'd probably rather get a full on SP if possible, just for the Escort bolt catch.

wow. the lack of recoil really is a downer

Rumpel Felt · December 10th, 2007, 16:03

Yeah, it would still allow for that knobish way a lot of people hold their guns (hand on the mag/magwell)

If only there were something that demanded a firm grip on the gun!

ancorp · December 10th, 2007, 16:12

Yeah the recoil ain't as high as I expected either, but still better then nothing, and the bolt stroke is longer then I expected too.

I'm sure there are ways to increase recoil (heavy bolt? stronger recoil spring? higher pressure to compensate?)

I'm still gettin' one for my AKM.

Cheers,
Alex

does anybody know if it'll have a semi auto function?

I read somewhere that the guy (sniperx) DID say that it will. Infact there will be semi auto ONLY options for some countries (Germany and... New Zealand? I think).

Can't wait.

Cheers,
Alex

The thread SniperX posted,

He gives a lot of details in the later pages.

You do realize that most small arms don't really have that much recoil. Before we had our vert grips we would hold the magwell while doing FIBUA. Hell, we were shooting with one hand for our PWT 4. With a little muscle it's not to hard to control.

Still a cool item. Makes me want to buy a M4 again when it comes out.

Half the reason I'm into airsoft and not paintball is due to the internal power sources...
